  1. All FOOLS’ DAY

  2. In England, just as in Russia, the first of April is known All Fool’s Day, or April Fool’s Day. This is good occasion of befooling each other, and they like this merry custom in Britain. It is especially popular with the children who try to befool their parents and friends. *occasion-повод *custom-обычай

  3. Everybody can become the victim of this widespread custom between the hours of midnight and noon. This is strictly observed, and all ends on the stroke of noon. *victim-жертва *widespread-широко распространенный *strictly-точно *to observe-наблюдать * to stroke-период

  4. Most of the tricks used in befooling are traditional. For example, it is possible to say that something is wrong with a person’s dress, when everything is in order. A person may be sent to fetch a pint of pigeon’s milk, or some other thing that does not exist. *tricks-хитрости *to fetch-раздобыть *pint-мера емкости *exist-существовать

  5. Some jokes are not so innocent. For example, you may well step into a basin of water placed secretly where you are sure to step into it, you may also be asked to visit somebody while nobody expects your coming there. *joke-шутка *innocent-невинный *basin-таз

  6. Most people will believe any of your tales. On April 1st, 1698, a crowd came to the Tower of London to see the lions washed in the Themes, because they had been invited to do so a day before by an anonymous joker. This event was described in newspapers. However, the same trick was successfully repeated in 1860, and again a lot of curious Londoners came to enjoy the lions washed.

  7. The persons befooled are called April Fools. When the jokers succeed in their purpose, they usually greet the befooled person with shouts: “April Fool!”, and get the traditional answer: April Fool’s past and gone, You were the fool for making me one! *succeed-следовать *purpose-цель *greet-приветствовать

  8. Try some tricks of your own on the First of April. Please, do remember, that they should not be offensive. The best joke makes everybody laugh, even the victim. Don’t forget that you also may well be befooled when trying to befool somebody. *offensive-оскорбительный
